This song is so true. Alcohol fixes everything. Maybe it's just temporary, but theirs always more alcohol. And even if there wasn't, temporary relief is better than constant agony.
Man... i must say your songs are something like AMAZINGGGGG this is my favourite. i'll sing this whenever i'm drunk dude, i hope you dont mind man. eheh
Man... i must say your songs are something like AMAZINGGGGG this is my favourite. i'll sing this whenever i'm drunk dude, i hope you dont mind man. eheh
If you were able to play like this after a bottle of famous grouse i would be greatly impressed, regardless of that fact, i prefer this style of your songs, instead of all the jumpy covers you seem to be producing
I think it is showing that alcoholics never see it as a problem, they see it as an easy escape. I don't know that is just what I think :\ but isto is amazing.
It seems to me that a lot of people have missed the point of this song. It's kind of funny, but in a very melancholy way. It's not glorifying drinking like seems to be the implication from many of the other comments.
Either way, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
yo man this song lifts me up when im down. dont know why, might be just cuz u put a nice spin on things and makin a sweet tune more like this pls peace.
I love it. I'm a songwriter here in Austin tx, and starting a youtube collective called "Saturday Sessisons". It is a portal for working songwriters. All you gotta do is link up with us....come on down!
Very well written. I enjoyed the chord progression, especially when you switched the diminished motif right before you took it home. I struggle with addiction too, so I can totally understand and related to it. Keep writing, man. You have a talent for it. All I can seem to do is learn others' songs, so I hope you have this copyrighted! :)
I've been watching a lot of your videos, and I love your music. You should seriously consider putting your songs on iTunes. I would be very likely to purchase your music if it were on iTunes.
Man, every time I see/hear this song, I think it all the funnier and deep.
White, it's a shame today's music scene doesn't recognize you, the genius lyricist that can blend witty aphorisms with folksy tunes. In the meantime, you should know that we, your Youtube audience, think highly of you and sit on our seats' edges yearning for more of your contributions.
I never thought There would be a song out there that hit the nail right on the head. Thank you for giving me another song for my blurred and off balanced life.
"...my wish is to get plastered." LOL Awesome song. I might just have to borrow it - it would make a great campfire song when I'm out camping and...well drinking. :)
this is a true thing that happens! its not a chain letter! its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and press ALT F4 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo wierd!
What he's saying, kids, is that drinking is okay. It makes you cool! grab a bottle, and if u wanna b extra cool, kids, go 2 ur local drug dealer and ask 4 a quarter ounce.
Famous Grouse! Yummy when I feel it burning in my tummy.
